Overview
Back in 2012, augmented reality wasn’t a thing; two graphic design students decided to create a short film that will showcase the future – where augmented reality contact lenses have replaced smartphones. That short film is called ‘Sight’ and it has impacted the AR industry deeply. Sight has drawn over 5 million views, depicting a vivid and – some would say – a terrifying glimpse into our future. Later this year – Sight’s original creators are going to release a feature length version: Sight:Extended.
